Alliance's awards and results
The most popular esports teams need to have a track record of wins. Bookies took notice when the Alliance Dota 2 team attained the grand prize at the 2013 International. They ended up defeating former champions Natus Vincere during the final. The score was 3 - 2. During the group stages Alliance finished at 14 - 0, a perfect record for this competition. However, they also lost twice to Na'Vi and once to Team DK.
Their performance was weaker the next year. Alliance failed to defend their crown. They tied 11th place with a less than stellar record of 6 - 9. As a result their roster fell apart and Alliance moved on to other game tournaments.
When Alliance joined the European League of Legends Championship Series in 2013 they finished 3rd with 16 - 12. They were behind rivals SK Gaming and Fnatic. The player Froggen was voted MVP for the Spring Split. During the playoffs they fell to 4th place and lost to Fnatic at the semi finals. After the Summer Split the team ended up with a record of 21 -7. Their highlight of the year was winning the League of Legends World Championship after a 3 - 1 win against Fnatic.
Money won
The success of esport teams is often based on the amount of money that they end up attaining over time. Bookies usually factor this in when deciding on the odds of them winning. Since their inception Alliance has competed in over 360 tournaments. The total prize money earned exceeds $6,846,000. This makes them a very high profile team to watch out for.
The bulk of these funds were won on matches for the game Dota 2. In fact, 84% of it was accrued. This is due to two things: the large number of Dota tournaments and the exceptional performance of Alliance players in this title. In contrast the amount of money earned from other individual games is marginal. Whilst making $115,647 from Apex Legends sounds impressive this only accounts for 1.70% of Alliance prizes. Recently the team has broadened their reach into the fighting genre. So far this has led to them winning $301,124. This is 4.40% of their overall total.
When gamblers take all of these statistics into account it becomes clear the majority of Alliance's successes are due to one game: Dota 2. Therefore the punter may wish to focus on this title when making a wager. The problem is that Alliance no longer competes in Dota events. However, as the team expands its reach this could change in the near future.
